How do you stay awake driving when you have no option but to drive?

Question

No matter how much sleep I have gotten, Every morning I have to drive to work and every morning I will fall asleep

Answer 1

If you feel that tired on the wheel, just pull over into the nearst gas station or mcdonalds or somthing. better being late for work then being dead. before you get on the road, drink coffee or red bull or somthing that will give you energy.

Answer 2

You have an option. Do not drive if you are too sleepy to do so. Putting your own life at risk is stupid, but putting the lives of others at risk is unconscionable.

Answer 3

blast the stereo and open your windows, i got 2 subwoofers in my car for the same reason early classes in college 10 miles each way heavy traffic and all city

Answer 4

Try drinking more water - 2litres a day. Dehydration can cause tiredness and drinking coffee will only make the problem worse because caffeine is a diuretic.

also, leave 10 mins early, then if you need to you can pull over for a 10 min nap - set the timer on your watch or phone and you will be surprised how refreshed you feel!

Answer 5

On the road? Yikes!

See a doctor.

Until then...

Bring something to munch on so it gives you something to do. Like a breakfast snack mix or dry cereal.

Bring something to drink so it gives you something to do: coffee, redbull, a bottle of coke, etc.

Find a funny morning talk show and listen for chances to call in to keep yourself awake.

Call a friend who also has to commute to work and make it a morning routine to chat on the way.

That sounds like a problem you need to see a Dr. for, my Son's friend has the same thing and the Dr. gave him some pill to help with that!  Good luck and do something BEFORE you get hurt or hurt someone else!

Drink more coffee!
